Jazz
Jus some standard, straight ahead pure jazz...No smoke, mirrors or electro-audio-nonsense that comes passing as jazz to relax to...
This is that fareal serious slump...'slump' is what you do when you sittin back relaxin, gettin ready for a date, been doin house work or about to. 'slump' is the art of gettin your spirit and your mind right and brother Carter delivers a serious soundtrack for that very purpose...

As with virtually all of Ron Carter's recordings as a leader, this CD is primarily a showcase for his bass solos. The unusual combination of musicians (a trio with guitarist Herb Ellis and pianist Kenny Barron) really does not live up to its potential. There are some short spots for Ellis and Barron but their roles are mostly in support of the bassist. Some of the selections (particularly "Sweet Lorraine" and the bassist's original "For Toddlers Only") do have their memorable moments but none of the songs are taken at faster than a medium tempo. Since bass solos (as with most drum showcases) often lose a lot when transferred to record (as opposed to being seen live), this CD is recommended mostly to Ron Carter completists.
